Ceramics
The Mobler gallery offers you a selection of mainly vintage Scandinavian ceramics, from Swedish, Danish or Finnish ceramists. If certain pieces were mass-produced in factories in Denmark like Royal Copenhagen or in Sweden like Rorstrand, each one is unique in its enamel or coloring work.

Young designers are assigned workshops at the very heart of the factories, and the title of artistic director.
